ments, and in fulfilling promises. To them we also will oui1 ability to grasp all instructions given, quickly and intelligently, and warn then that in so doing they will save themselves many blunders, heartaches and misunderstandings. Third. To the Sophomores we bequeath our wit and humor, but request them here and now, not to go too far because we will not be at their side later to tell them when to stop. We also give them our good manners and school spirit, and sincerely hope that they may protit by our good example. Fourth. To the Freshmen, noted for their kind and gentle ways, and unlimited bashfulness, we leave our heartfelt sympathy. We give them any warm place we may have found in the hearts of the faculty, and advise them to cu.tivate it diligently and use it sparingly. Likewise we leave our cleverness to evade difficulties, and we believe they will progress by using Joe Ellenberger’s red hair as a headligut to guide them through the dark places. Fifth. We do he.eby bequeath in the following manner, the further individual properties of the class of 1920: , Sanford Ede s ability to go to sleep anywhere, at any time, we give to Harry Lurndal so that he will not be a nuisance to earnest workers. , Tommie Thompson’s ability to translate his 'shorthand without notes, we solemnly bequeath to Leo Peters. Leonard Anderson wills his fondness for girls in general to Francis Harrison, trusting him to amuse them, while he himself seeks other worlds to conquer. In order that our under classmen may get all the benefits possible out of their study periods, we give Raymond Evans' quiet and studious manner to Kenneth Coat ley, so that he may learn to spend his time in ways that are more profitable to a student. Leon Loomis' ability as a mechanic, we leave to Greay Hurtley, hoping that he will invent some device whereby the teacher in charge of the main room may determine from what part of said main room, certain peculiar sounds issue forth. We hereby give Edith Luetscher’s powder puff and small mirror to Mary Pabst, and we hope that she will make as good use of its charms as a beautifier as did its former owner. Ralph Seyforth's smiles we leave to Paul Anderson, as we believe that “Happy” can make as good if not a better impression on the girls as “Smiler” did. Blanche Parker wills her book of photos to Greay Hurtley; she desires it to be kept in the family. Arlie Olson's ability as a stenographer we leave Thelma Horner anticipating with such aid that she will some day be able to translate her shorthand notes fluently. Agnes Armour’s light steps we bequeath to Archie Hawkinson.

out our high school career. We also leave jointly in their possession, all records of our excellent standings, and to each individual as follows: To our Principal, Mr. Dodge, we bequeath our Physics notebooks so that the students of the Stanley high school may profit by tbem next year. We also give him a copy of “Easy Steps for Little Feet,” so that he may start his son along the path of knowledge, which he himself, has so diligently followed. To Miss Everett, our commercial teacher, beloved by all her students, we bequeath a small box as a place of concealment for her call bells, while not in use, so that she will know where to find them when they are needed to frighten the Freshmen. To Miss Jones, who has been as accurate as the cyclopedia in our Teachers’ Training Department and who was reared in the sunny south, we hereby give a pair of gloves to keep her hands warm while carrying her books to school on wintry mornings. To Miss Bridgman, our learned History teacher, we bequeath our American histories, so that she may keep our underclassmen well informed about the deeds of our forefathers. We also give her our C ivies books, trusting that she will show the coming Seniors what a long lesson really is. lo Mr. Thompson, our Agricultural teacher and admirable coach, we leave a picture of the Stock Judging Team which, through his efforts, secured the State Championship. W'e also give him a snapshot of our basket ball team, together with our schedule, as a remembrance of our good times, and the many victories which we have won. To Miss Knilans we give our joint thankfulness for the faithful work she has done to make our class play a success, and we also leave to her our sheet music to be played on the ukelele which she can use so advantageously. To Miss Williams we will a memorandum book so that she will not forget to ask the students for their excuses. But. perhaps, this will not help her, for we have an idea that she will be asking excuses of a student of medicine next year. To Miss Shervey we bequeath our art in cooking, sewing, and serving and a small electric stove run by gasoline, trusting that she will keep the domestic science girls busy warming milk for the Freshmen. To Miss Aldrich, we give our hearty congratulations, and our extra knowledge of agriculture and dairying, also our surplus furniture to be used in founding a home in Brookings. S. D. Second. To the Juniors we bequeath our vacant seats on the south side of the room, and we trust that they will assume our Senior dignity; and we further desire that they have our tact in dealing with difficult problems, our punctuality in keeping appoint-

We believe it will aid him in moving more gracefully. To Rose Fraser we give the audible quality of Lowell Holmes voice so that she may be heard in recitation, as the teachers insist that it is absolutely necessary that all statements be clearly understood. m Roland Chitlin's knowledge of stock judging we bequeath to Lawrence Fitzgerald and his expert basket ball ability to Jewell Johnson. , To Arnold Ede we give Sammy Blum’s wit, that he may entertain our underclassmen in the future when statistics become dry. JiVe expect him to find at Last one joke a year, although Sam succeeded in entertaining us with many more. James Brown wills his privilege of getting dismissed from the commercial room in the middle of the periods to Cy;il Brinkman, as a safeguard that he will not 5njure himself by overstudy. Ixiuise Indgjer's and Bessie Hill’s splendid ab lities as practice teachers we leave to Hazel Berg and Mabel Thompson. Forrest Hurtley bequeaths his Parker fountain pen (the name is particularly charming to h m) to Fred Harrison, feeling certain that be will like this brand. Marie Ede’s taste for p'efty dresses we bequeath to Chas. Whitworth, to assist him in judging costumes in his future household.

May she ever carry this mus'cal banner forward! To Kenneth Costley and Ralph Smith we leave Sydney Bunce’s ability to keep a class reco d. They will perhaps need it to counteract some of their zeros for lack of attention in class. Joseph Pape's curiosity we give to Wendell Claflin. We think that with such an asset he will surpass even Joe in this particular art. Oscar Olson’s knowledge of mathematics we b?queath to Archie Hawkinson. which he can use effectively in figuring out correctly the exact size of his shoe. Edith Melrose’s clever ability in drawing we leave to next year’s Freshmen that they may meet the requirements of Mr. Thompson’s Physiology class.

Alfaretta Wright who desires to spend ]ifo teaching—the position i3 lucrative—bequeaths her place r.s cook in her home to
